This is posted for sale in another forum I frequent... seems like a GREAT place to start for a really cool camper trailer. It is in Texas:

It looks like a jail wagon from TEXAS !!! Made to be hauled with a 4 x 4

Look at the metal covering the windows :thumbsup:

It's basically a tool bed from a pickup mounted on a frame with a custom top. If you've ever gotten in the back of one of those you'd realize how small it is. Look at the 3rd pic harder... a round water cooler, a tote and some junk on the floor. not very wide inside. I imagine you couldn't even get a cot on that floor.
Now look at the second pic. those shelves only half as wide as the tool storage area. Again.. not very much you could put on there. I just bet the custom top can't take much weight either so you can't suspend a hammock either. Would be a very expensive setup to try as a camper only to see it fail cause it too small. And that is the problem with it. Too small for a camper.

So you all don't like it... I think it is GREAT starting point for a utility/camper... yes, pulled by a 4x4. Carry tools and parts and have a place to sleep... it is no smaller than a small tent and you don't have to sleep on the ground!

FWIW the seller is asking for offers back at the original linked thread.

Its ok.. Its probably 4'x6' on the inside. I'd also say its a little small. With that tall flat front it would probably pull worse then a nice 6x12 Vnose cargo trailer.. All the tool boxes would give a lot of storage though..
